    I’d rather “trust” a company that cuts the bullshit with notices like

    The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
    Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.

    to remind the user that trusting noncredible information from unreliable sources is a ridiculous concept.

      Except for the users presenting shit as facts and it being promoted through their platform.

        Doesn’t reminding users not to be so gullible address that?

        A problem is promoting unrealistic expectations that untrustworthy information is reliable because someone else will unerringly determine the truth & catch falsehoods from spreading. Claiming that ever made sense is bogus.
